Stadia: Google extends its cloud gaming service to 8 new European countries

While Sony Interactive Entertainment and Microsoft are still monopolized by the PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, Google, for its part, is expanding its cloud gaming service. Indeed, the Mountain View firm announces through an official press release that Stadia is now available in eight new European countries, namely Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, and Switzerland. Thus, 22 territories of the Old Continent now have access to it.

We already know the procedure: from a simple Gmail address, it is possible to access Destiny 2 and Super Bomberman R Online immediately and at no cost via a laptop or desktop PC, a compatible smartphone, or a Tablet. All new registrants have the possibility of enjoying the Stadia Pro offer for one month which, after the free trial period, is billed at € 9.99 / month – it is possible to cancel at any time.

“The Stadia Pro membership gives rise to a selection of free accessible games that players can add to their library with new free games available each month, is it indicated. Players retain access to these free games for the duration of their subscription.“Note that contrary to what we thought at the start, Stadia is not a sort of” Video game Netflix “, given that you have to pay an additional amount to get the games.
